…good time to assess current robotics trends. From venture capital constraints to ChatGPT, Dr. Bernard Casse, founder and CEO of RIOS Intelligent Machines Inc., has experience and first-hand observations from recent events. RIOS said it is leading the charge in re-industrializing America and transforming aging industries into the smart factories of the future powered by robotics and artificial intelligence. The…

…Logistics e-fulfillment distribution center. Locus Robotics, the startup company founded by Bruce Welty and Mike Johnson, was still more concept than commercial product, but even then, Welty envisioned a multi-billion-dollar business for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in the warehouse. A little over a year later, I had the opportunity to watch another first: a mobile piece-picking robot from IAM Robotics…

…integration with the help of SVT Robotics. “This was a strategic initiative for our company,” said Laura Adams, vice president of technology, engineering systems, and solutions (TES) at CJ Logistics. “In this particular building, we wanted to deploy several technologies that CJ Logistics is using on a global basis. But no single provider could provide it all, so we needed…

…of new automated technologies, especially robotics, the challenges to integration are back in the spotlight. Operators don’t want to just drop a new technology into an existing process. Instead, they want to combine technologies to create new and better processes. It’s a reason that the theme at Trew’s booth was “orchestrating” systems. Enabling integration was the whole premise behind SVT…

…offered a varied mix of robotics companies In my two days at Automate, that momentum was visible in the solid attendance at the event as well as the number and variety of exhibitors. By variety, I especially mean more AMR vendors with larger booths, compared with past Automate events. Yes, the biggest exhibit spaces tended to be from major robotic…

…Media, the parent organization of Robotics 24/7 and Modern Materials Handling, is a partner of MHI.] Looking back on the industry changes since 2019, some challenges persist. Labor availability remains a core driver for technology adoption, as reaffirmed by MHI’s “Annual Industry Report” released at ProMat. This year’s report and survey found that hiring and retaining qualified workers remained the…

…trucks, piece-picking and goods-to-person systems, robotic putwalls, and even shuttles in an automated storage and retrieval system 〈ASRS〉. While they can all operate in the same facility, they don’t typically interface with or talk to one another. They are islands of automation. That’s a blast from the past that wasn’t a compliment in the 1980s and 1990s, either. Furthermore, there’s…

…has been pouring into DC-focused robotics and AI startups in recent years, with funding coming not only from some larger investment entities, but also smaller firms focused on logistics and robotics innovators. Some industrial companies also have established investment arms, notes Sidell, so multiple sources of capital are available, not just the big venture capital or “VCs” who typically fund…

Software is what is constantly calculating the optimal routes for a fleet of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to take, and it’s what gives robotic piece-picking arms the smarts to know how to grasp and place items.
